A property owned and run by Rugby nut Christian Mignan, the winemaker at well know Château Vaugelas in Corbieres. Our latest visit to his winery, built in his spare-time, finds Christian on crutches having snapped his Achilles tendon some weeks before. After some plenty of gentle banter about England vs France (little did he know what the final score line would be when they met a couple of weeks later at Twickenham) we settle into tasting his latest vintages accompanied by plenty of fresh bread and pate!
Located in the pretty village of Siran, in between Pépieux and Livinière, with vineyards planted on surface gravel with very deep clay and limestone subsoil, Mignan makes very classic wines with great depth and complexity.
The Pech Quisou wines are approachable, soft and fruit focused with good balancing structure. Both are blends of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Cinsault with the Rose made by bleeding the vats, and the red spending twelve months in three year old, and older, French oak barrels.
These are the wines, vintages and approximate retail prices from Château Mignan we currently have available in the UK.
